Seattle Clinic Defense Snoozes through August Protest

The pro-abortion, anti-woman group Seattle Clinic Defense slept through their August protest today after the Helpers of God's Precious Infants got an early 7:00 am start.

Here's a report from the Helpers:
"Our vigil went really well. Peaceful and Prayerful. About 10 minutes
before we finished the protestors showed up and as they began to line up with all their signs etc. we began walking back. I think we really took
them by surprise but I am sure they will look at it as victory for them.
There was about 17 of us and 12 of our regulars weren't there so we were really pleased with the Helpers turn out. I can imagine what they will say on their web site but we loved having a very peaceful and prayerful vigil. Besides that is what we are all about. Fox TV showed up ready to film us as we were getting in our cars and was very surprised that we had just finished so he went down in front of PP and filmed them. That's what they want anyway. I am sure that they called them."

It's too bad the SCD couldn't find a better way to use their time and energy, rather than helping the abortion industry to prey on women and children. Hopefully some if them will wake up before they hurt too many people.

...I would now like to say a special word to women who have had an abortion...[many people are] aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision, and [do] not doubt that in many cases it was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. Try rather to understand what happened and face it honestly. If you have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance. The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and his peace ... You will come to understand that nothing is definitively lost and you will also be able to ask forgiveness from your child...With the friendly and expert help and advice of other people, and as a result of your own painful experience, you can be among the most eloquent defenders of everyone's right to life. Through your commitment to life, whether by accepting the birth of other children or by welcoming and caring for those most in need of someone to be close to them, you will become promoters of a new way of looking at human life. -- Pope John Paul II
